The restaurant was full when we got there (on a Monday night) so we ate at the bar - full menu. Great snapper. Chelsea and her Dad, the owner, made us feel very welcome and gave us great tips on where to snorkel.

Whenever we are in St Thomas, we have to pop over to St John to dine at the Lime Inn. We love their lobster, but when that is not available, any fish dish is great. The staff are friendly, the drinks are good and the prices are reasonable. We love the Lime Inn

During my first day on St. John, it rained then cleared up while I was using this day as my shopping for souvenirs day. Found this as one of the places recommended by a travel book and had lunch twice during my 7 day stay. Really good salads, great service, clean outdoor tables. No air conditioning as many restaurants in... More

Food and service were excellent here. Lobster was really good. The setting is ok. This would be excellent if it had a view of some sort.

We visit Lime Inn each visit to St. John. Service was friendly and food is good. I'd recommend this to anyone coming. Suggest reservations.

Been coming here about 20 years. Owner always makes you feel welcome and appreciates your business. I remember this place being tough to get into years ago,before there were more options in Cruz Bay. Food is consistent--had the lobster the other day anditwasgood just right. The place is small, decorated with lots of plants, plastic chairs so it isn't fancy,... More

This was our second shot at Lime Inn. The service is wonderful but the portion sizes in regards to the fish entrees and rice sides are small. You get more at the BBQ places. Two of our fish entrees were not only small but dry. They really need to have someone in the kitchen watching what the food looks like... More
